How accurate is body mass index (BMI) as a measure of health risk?

Physicians traditionally used body mass index (BMI) as a way to assess a person's risk for disease. The problem with this measurement alone is that it does not account for the very lean person who weighs more per inch than a fat person since muscle weighs more than fat. A more accurate way to determine health risk is to combine your BMI measurement with your waist circumference measurement (remember, it matters where the fat is stored).

Ideally, men's waists should be less than 40 inches and women's less than 35.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
